@MungBean: Aw! Solids sometimes stress me out too! My LO was sick on and off for a month and half and lost some weight so I've been trying to think of high caloric/fattier foods as well. Have you tried giving yogurt or cottage cheese along with whatever your LO eats? Even though I am hesitant I let my LO snack on puffs to just get in some calories. And also, since I offer foods that I have made to my LO first, I also have back up of jarred/pouch food. My LO sometimes likes those better because they seem more flavorful. Good luck! I know it can be frustrating at times.

I was going to suggest mixing egg yolks with some of her purees as well... and butter goes great with carrots and other squashes - the butter/carrot combo actually helps with the absorption of vitamin A.

Eggs, butter, yogurt, coconut oil... I hope you find some sort of solution soon! I know it's hard not to stress.

My 15 mo old is on the 10% weight curve, and has been there since 6 mo. My pedi said she is not concerned, but that if we want, we can add butter to foods, etc. She also suggested giving Carnation Instant Breakfast (have not done this yet). I guess that wouldn't apply to your LO at that age.. I give a lot of hard boiled eggs, add eggs to his oatmeal, and when I cook with meat I don't remove any of the fat for him. He also eats salmon enjoys butter on toast, etc. I do what I can, but I'm not too worried since he seems to just be a little guy. For you, I think you could cook your veggies, fruit in butter before you puree. That actually sounds really yummy
